(29,589 posts)I might be convinced to torture Republicans with assigned reading and reality recognition exercises. I have a mean streak.

Oh, I also agree with you.

(17,396 posts)why is it wrong to torture enemies, presumably terrorists, but it's acceptable to punch a Nazi in the head?
The poll here makes it clear (27-0) as of this post, that few, if any, DUers advocate torture. But many DUers have emphatically condoned assaulting someone who is a self-professed Nazi.
Granted torture is more severe than a blow to the head, but a strike to someone's skull can result in unconsciousness and even death if they bounce their cranium off the sidewalk.
I oppose both measures, for the record, unless it's a matter of self-defense or intervening where someone else is being physically attacked.

(17,396 posts)which could have long-term debilitative consequences depending on how hard it's thrown and where it lands, is acceptable?

(99,719 posts)Torture would be several people punching you in the head at once.
Would punching a NAZI in the arm be appropriate?
